While EVs will be prioritized, other low-emission options <br /> may also be considered. The assessment will cover fleet requirements, available vehicle options, and <br /> necessary charging infrastructure. Below is our detailed work plan based on the Scope of Services. <br /> Task 1. Fleet Evaluation and Transition Strategy <br /> Fleet Evaluation: First, the ICF team works with the County's fleet manager and designated <br /> personnel to gather current fleet data through FASTER on the 439 existing vehicles within the <br /> fleet. FASTER data will be gathered and processed, and supplementary information will also be <br /> collected, including: <br /> Vehicle Characteristics <br /> • Vehicle type (e.g., box, utility) • Current odometer reading <br /> • Vehicle fuel type • Current fuel costs <br /> • Make, model, model year • Current maintenance costs <br /> • In-service year • Estimated service life <br /> • Average and maximum daily mileage • Operating radius <br /> • Payload • Specialty use cases <br /> • Fleet operation logistics • Vehicle replacement schedule <br /> The ICF team has strong expertise with FASTER, particularly from our fleet electrification project with the <br /> City of Wilmington. Additionally, to the extent available, the ICF team will work with County staff to collect <br /> data on the vehicle dwelling sites: <br /> CONFIDENTIAL 15 <br />
